Yes, please. My mom’s talk of internment camps for Chinese people has been sounding less and less paranoid all the time, and I’ve been seriously thinking of what I need to do to prepare for possibly having to hide in my own country. If you have any tips for bug-out bags that would be great.
You know what, that’s a great angle I hadn’t even thought of.
I’d briefly considered it. People talking about that Would You Hide Me thing Jewish people were retweeting, and I did think about it from the standpoint of someone who has access to some rural property. How would you hide someone in the woods? How to use game trails to camoflage comings and goings, how to avoid a visible heat signature, how to forage etc. A farm with livestock is a good cover, because you can buy quite a lot of food and so on ostensibly for animals.
There are tons of things about bug-out bags around, and I occasionally think about one of my own and never do it, so that’s a good project for sure.
But another thing– man, I know nothing about online security. I researched it a tiny bit for a fic I wrote once, but– how do you hide your identity online? How could you put together a covert, but accessible to those in need, clearinghouse? How to coordinate extractions, people with safehouses, people who could hide or protect you, with people who are vulnerable? How to make that accessible to people who need it but not exploitable by the people who want to turn them in? I’m so interested in that, and simultaneously, have absolutely no idea where to start.
Here is kind of a bad place! I’m a person who has been online a long time, and while I don’t habitually use my real name, it surely would be trivial to find out who I am in real life from reading this. I also pretty openly talk about the farm– it’s not hard to see right where that is. Obviously, hiding people there would be a terrible idea.
But the idea remains. I just don’t know how to go about researching that.
